[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 11533537, member: 20202"] I don't think reinforcing the shock towers will have any effect on the ride quality other then perhaps some "creaks & pops". The sound you are hearing is likely the top of the shock tower "oil canning". Here is a photo of my shock tower that have been beefed up using .050 thk4130 chromoly sheet [ATTACH=full]290031[/ATTACH] Note "boxed" column inside the shock tower [ATTACH=full]290032[/ATTACH] I would not recommend anyone reinforcing the front shock towers to this extent or it will cause problems elsewhere. The main thing is to beef up the tower to handle the static load (weight of the car) which the cap on the top and the box column inside the tower should be more the adequate to bring the towers up to snuff. Rear shock tower [ATTACH=full]290033[/ATTACH] The 2 gussets on either side of the rear shock tower and seam welding should make you good to go in the rear. [/QUOTE]
